I led a walk yesterday for some bods from our hydrology department and the reserve is looking fantastic with young Lapwing, Canada Geese and the first warbler broods out and about..

There were countless Starlings out on the marsh and all you could hear was the 'shewwwing' of the brown babies as they followed their parents around looking for guidance as to how to probe with efficiency!

Veronika Moore took some great shots of these roving parties around the Butts Hide.

and two of our four Canada broods
